Ruining her husband's reputation is a feature, not a bug. But Felicia didn't really know about the political career side of things when she started, she just figured his competitors would be laughing up their sleeves at him being cuckolded+, while she got her rocks off both by the competition and him not knowing.
I might understand that, but where Elias may have a few stains on his name her life will be completely destroyed. So yeah, it is still stupid.
That's the biggest assumption of this game, that's what I'm talking about. That all the VIP freaks and staff members will keep their mouths shut forever for some reason.
Felicia is young (enough), hot, and if she blows up her too 'perfect' marriage, she could have a good excuse to get back into art. People desperately unhappy with their lives and situations frequently will self-sabotage to change the situations. It's not the best way of going about things, but it is very human.
Yeah, I don't think she's counting on him not knowing forever. This is all an elaborate way to blow up her life, but let her be in denial about it along the way.
Very funny. Being accustomed to a lavish life style she will trade that to a life of poor unrecognized art expert or whatever. Apart of having a reputation of a dirty cheap whore. I would rather believe that in that case she'll end up as one of the Club's house girls being freeuse for everybody.
She's a thrill seeker. People will do very stupid, very self destructive things to get their thrills. Her actions can rightfully be seen as unreasonable, and she's probably not as smart as she (and the audience) thinks she is, but she's not unreasonable narratively.
If you're only halfway through the game at this point, keep playing and maybe your opinion of Felicia will change. I don't want to spoil it, but I will say that you will have the opportunity to see what's hidden behind the "cheap submissive thrill seeking whore" facade.
As I argued before, seeking the thrill she might perform in the Club under a mask and a fake name or secretly fuck the MC and his likes under her husband's nose. Openly stating her name and status to many people that know her husband just before being extremely degraded IS narratively unreasonable.
Sure, and I'm not going to argue with your interpretation of things. Felicia's decision to join the exhibition is written as inscrutable from Edwin's perspective, so someone reading it as illogical is fair game. I just wanted to highlight you were overlooking some details / prematurely bitching to save you from disappointment.
Felicia does a lot of things for the story.
I just played the interview with her husband so I can imagine her motives. Still doesn't change what I said either about her being completely reckless or about her being a waste of a good character.
She is an expensive whore that already in the first week of competition allows to degrade her to a cheap whore. That's the point.
That's also my point that through half of the game it looks like it is the MC that teaches her. Power dynamics are wasted. She degrades too fast to the state of a simple sex crazed animal to be taken seriously as a sage.
The thing about what you say is, you're largely going off presumptions and ignorance -- you don't know what Felicia's plan regarding her future actually is, so you are presuming that "completely running her reputation" is something that will be extremely damaging to her and something she for some reason completely overlooked... but neither has to be the case.
That's my point that it is the most likely outcome in this version of the story and that's why I feel that her initial impression of a sex sage (I agree with this definition) has ended in her bukkake sperm covered frenzy in the first week of the competion.
So, please enlighten my ignorance, what is her brilliant plan involving to completely degrade herself and somehow stay afloat in her life?
We don't know. I guess you could either wait and see or shoot your mouth off.
What's the difference between being a cheap and expensive whore? They both fuck for money, so surely it's a question of price tag. If that's the distinction, from her perspective membership into the Carnation Club and how she plans on leveraging it isn't selling herself for cheap.
So, you don't know anything but still trying to pretend that you do. Too much hot air in you to tell me when to shut my mouth.
No, i'm pointing out that neither of us know anything about it. That's why i was keeping my mouth shut on this subject, and you're making yourself look foolish [insisting on] doing the opposite.
